If called with a valid token in `X-Vault-Token` header, the response will

## Get Single Mount Details

This endpoint lists details for a specific mount path. This is an
authenticated endpoint, and is currently only being used internally.

The calling token should not be granted permissions to these API endpoints
directly, but instead rely on permissions granted to the individual mount path.
This means that if you give a token a policy with capabilities on a `:path`
(e.g. `/secret/*`), the token will be able to call
`sys/internal/ui/mounts/:path` (e.g. `sys/internal/ui/mounts/secret`) without
having to add that literal path to the policy document.

On certain mounts, it is possible to call an arbitrary path within the engine
(for example, `/sys/internal/ui/mounts/secret/path/to/secret` when the mount
path is `/secret`). If called in this manner, then this endpoint will return the
data for the mount that hosts that path. Therefore, a call to
`/sys/internal/ui/mounts/secret/path/to/secret` and a call to
`/sys/internal/ui/mounts/secret` will yield an identical response.

Due to the nature of its intended usage, there is no guarantee on backwards
compatibility for this endpoint.
